14 Best Italian Restaurants near Blue Springs

“Ate lunch there today! Most excellent Ziti. Sauce was great!“

“We had an amazing experience at Olive Garden today! Our server, Joseph, gave us some of the best service we've had in a long time. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we always had everything we needed, including drink refills before we even had to ask.
What impressed me the most was how seriously the restaurant took our food allergy. My baby and I have a severe milk allergy/lactose intolerance, and even a small amount of dairy can cause a bad reaction for my child. They have allergy information available right on the tablet at the table, which was very helpful. On top of that, the manager personally came to our table to discuss our allergy and reassure us that they would take every precaution.
They prepared our meals fresh to avoid any cross-contamination, and that level of care meant so much to us. Unfortunately, many restaurants don't take food allergies seriously, but Olive Garden truly did. It gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our meal without worrying.
The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the care and professionalism shown by both Joseph and the manager exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making our family feel safe, welcomed, and valued. We will definitely be back!“

“Vito's has an amazing lunch special every day for just $10 - you get a huge slice of pizza, salad, and drink! Vito himself is still running the place with his son and an excellent crew! You won't be disappointed!“

“Best pizza so far in Lee Summit. Chicken Parmigiana tastes great.“

“First timers and absolutely coming back! Fantastic food from the appetizer to the salad to the melt in your mouth steak. 😍“

“We had a family Christmas dinner for 22 over the holidays at Cafe Verona. The food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Our incredible server, Andy, was attentive to the needs of the adults, teens, and children at all times! He truly made the special evening a success! Everything was set up early, including items for the children, to keep their attention and maximize the time together as a family. All of the dishes were outstanding, and my personal favorite was the mushroom lover's pasta and the lasagna (for my husband). The appetizers of house made hummus, garlic bread, and calamari were also enjoyed by all! If you have not tried Cafe Verona, give it a whirl. You will not regret the decision. Also, take a stroll around the beautiful historic Independence Square and enjoy the scenery, history, and wonderful shops. Show less Date of visit: December 2023“

“Great customer service! Kind, friendly staff“

“Bailey, our server, was one of the best servers I've ever had. We had a party of 8, and she was on top of things better than most servers do with a party of 2. This person was expert level, and made it look effortless. They were super nice too. Give her a raise!“

“Never had a cold pizza, always hot fresh and delicious! the crab rangoon pizza is fire!! Everything is good and an inexpensive way to treat my family to carry out or delivery.“

“The food was delicious (we had the mushroom ravioli and the new garlic chicken dish) but what was truly standout was the service. Kim was an absolute pleasure, incredibly attentive and truly so kind. She treated us with so much compassion and went above and beyond. Whatever shes making, triple it!“

“I enjoy this place when I'm in the mood for a neapolitan pizza close to home. Recently I tried the hot honey pepperoni and as a pineapple on pizza guy I enjoyed the creativity behind it, and the salty/sweet profile. The pizza is cooked near a big open flame so there will be some charring, it's part of the allure, it's not burnt. I got a kick out of reading some of the recent one star reviews about this place. Seems to me like there are too many gluten intolerant Karens in the area, so keep an eye out for that. Service for me has mostly been good, but they do employ the youth and it's true that you'll occasionally come across an inattentive server or a cashier that tries to avoid taking your order. Would be nice to have a few tvs in the dining area.“

“I'm only in Missouri once in a great while, and this place is definitely good. Some of the best pizza I've had! I will say the prices are slightly high, but I'm good to pay those prices if the quality keeps up. Thanks for a good experience!“

“WOW, Just had Summit Pizza for the first time as we were searching somewhere close with Cauliflower Crust. Good Golly miss Molly, this pizza was excellent. With our favorite toppings available also. And in the counter were some delicious looking desserts. Maybe next time. Summit Pizza will be our go too!“

“⸻ Absolutely love Sal’s Pizza! The crust is perfectly chewy, the cheese is rich and flavorful, and the slices are always generous. Feels like an authentic New York-style experience every time. Fast service and consistently great quality—highly recommend! 🍕✨“
